I have no idea what these are...

East Elmhurst, NY

I bought three houseplants today. Unfortunately, I have no idea what they are. They had plant labels but when I looked online, the plants I bought were mislabeled and didn't match what I saw on the internet.

Plant #1, as you can see, has white/green leaves and is pretty much growing upwards- not a lot of hang over, and the leaves are thin and waxy
Plant #2, as you can also see, is dark green/light green but the underside is purple
Plant #3, is green throughout, the leaves are pretty thick and waxy and some of the leaves almost feel furry, it also has this one growth if you look at the top left of the plant that has no buds or anything- it is just a long shoot

Thanks for your input!

Hi and welcome to Dave's Garden!

Plant #1 is a Pothos. It looks yellow and green on my computer screen, but if it's white and green, then it's Pothos 'Marble Queen'. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/598/

Plant #2 is either Calathea or Maranta, but I believe it's Calathea, just not sure which one.

Plant #3 I'm really not sure about. I can't see it well enough to ID it and it's not something I'm immediately familiar with. It reminds me of a Pepperomia, but I haven't grown enough of them to know for sure. The way it has the long vine coming out makes me think of a Hoya, though. Sorry I can't be of more help on this one. Someone else will come along shortly and ID it and give their input on #2 as well.

They are all very lovely plants! :o)

No, wait! Plant #2 is Stromanthe 'Burle Marx'. http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/144816/ Ya think?
